Latest King Aire complaints
The cargo door panel is set to fly off. The manufacturer, Newmar, is using 2 pieces of tape on the cargo bay door skin and it can fly off very easily. It's very dangerous and we are lucky we caught it before it flew off. There is another King Aire owner who warned us about it happening. His case number is 11661685.
I own a 2019 Newmar King Aire and have lost two bay door skins in the past couple weeks during a trip from the West Coast to the East Coast. The first one was never recovered and I am horrified what might have happened if it would have hit someone. After we lost the first one, I inspected the rest of them, (14 in total) and they all felt secure. I then checked them again a couple hours prior to losing the second one. The Second one, I recovered after it flew up and damaged the side of my coach. These skins are...

only held on with 1/2" two-sided tape and I believe they will all fail eventually. And it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt or killed. I have additional photos if I can help in any way. I have asked Newmar what I can do to repair this situation, and they told me I was out of warranty, but they would review this issue and get back to me.

Wet bay door skin adhesive is failing on many units causing the door skin to become detached and blow off of the vehicle while driving. This happened to ours and we've seen many other units with the same issue. The dealers know this is an issue but Newmar will not address.
Driver's side cockpit window is fogged to the point of zero usable visibility. This is a known issue among other owners of Newmar products with Fresco frameless windows. Neither Newmar nor Fresco will cover any cost of replacement or repair. This is a $2200 window to replace so many owners will try to live with it, causing a major hazard to other vehicles.
I own a 2018 newmar king aire motor home. I had a gen 5 diesel exhaust fluid (def) sensor fail at 10,000 miles. I was one of the lucky ones in that when the dash lit up with warnings I was able to drive it home before it went into derate. I was less than 200 miles away at the time. There are many links on www.Irv2.Com about this issue with many other motor home owners. Some very scary putting lives at risk. The derate limp mode of being able to go 5mph just does not suffice. There is nothing on the warnings...

that tell you how many miles you can drive before derate. There is no 'reset button' to get you either home or to a service center. (Suggestion, since this is an epa mandate, couldn't the epa let the manufacturers have a reset button to get to a service center? It would require a call to the epa, must be manned 24 hrs a day, so that they can keep track so people don't abuse.) I am all for reducing emissions on diesel engines, but I am not for putting my life at risk to achieve this. That is what is happening today. Lives are being put at risk.

My coach has no throttle repose after engine brake engages ? So what happens is when you slow down engine brake works fine but when you hit the throttle to go there is no power just rpm goes up ? The only way to get power is turn off engine brake on the dash then it goes fine. . This does not happen every time
